Reality TV star and hype priestess, Phyna, has finally addressed the heavy backlash trailing her earlier tweets about a street beggar who damaged her car in Lagos.

Taking to her page, Phyna admitted that she allowed anger get the best of her while narrating the incident. She revealed that aside from the trauma of the encounter, she also had to deal with fixing scratches and replacing items yanked off her windshield.

In her words:

“It wasn’t my intention to malign the Yoruba tribe or cause division, the damage could’ve been done by anybody from any tribe. I’m not a bigot, I love all tribes, I love my Yoruba brothers & sisters and it’s evident in my creative works with how much I’ve worked with them.”

The BBNaija star further stressed that while her anger influenced her choice of words, it doesn’t excuse them.

“My anger does not in any way justify the tweets I made, I’m human, I’m not perfect and I’m using this medium to apologize — Emabinu, E f’orijimi,” she added.

Her apology has since sparked mixed reactions online, with fans commending her humility while others believe the damage may have already been done.
